Initially, the total mass of liquid water and ice is 400 grams of water + 75 grams of ice = 475 grams. After 20 minutes, with 50 grams of ice remaining, the mass of melted ice is 75 grams - 50 grams = 25 grams, which adds to the existing liquid water. Thus, the total mass of liquid water at this time is 400 grams + 25 grams = 425 grams.
